Il Roncal is a 20-hectare Estate based on the hill of Montebello, located in the very heart of the wine-growing area ‘Colli Orientali’ in the Italian region Friuli.
COMPANY INFO
There is a place in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, where the heart meets land and where the values of a family find their most sincere expression in the production of great wines. This is IL RONCAL. A small
20-hectare estate in Cividale del Friuli, a UNESCO heritage town. Here Martina Moreale brings forward the project started in 1986 by her husband Roberto, founder of the winery.
Respect for the land and the environment, preservation of tradition, renewal of agricultural techniques:
these are the elements that make the production of high quality wines possible.
The name of the winery, IL RONCAL, in the local Friulian language means “estate, placed on a hill cultivated in terraces,” and indeed the ‘ronchi’ (hills) are those that dominate this striking landscape.
